Episode #039: The Bitcoin Heir Next Door with Dr. Riste Simnjanovski

Would you be interested in owning a piece of the internet back in the late 90’s? On this episode we sat down with Dr. Riste Simnjanovski, author of The Bitcoin Heir Next Door, to get his thoughts on why Bitcoin (BTC) may be the equivalent of the internet of money and how it could be uniquely poised to address some of the financial concerns we see today.  We also spent time discussing things like inflation (why is everything getting more expensive?) and how Bitcoin differs from the monetary policies we're used to. Dr. Simnjanovski is a Professor of Public Administration and his research and academic interests are in the areas of Geo-Political Influence in Public Education, SCADs (State Crimes Against Democracy), Public Administration, Public Education, For-Profit Publishers in k-12, Rhetoric, American Military Education, The American Military Education Complex, Higher Education Course Design/Development, Fiat Currency Manipulation, and Crypto Assets.
